With people, the variables are not only innumerable but also dynamically responsive (environment, situational, culural influences, social ties etc) that creating stability at increasing levels of geometric complexity is quite challenging.
Hence the creation of rigid (most often hierarchical) organizational structures, contracts, laws, regulations etc - particularly as we have fragmented our micro-nodal communities into wide-spread low/no-trust societies.
There IS a need for hierarchy - but it is not infinite vertical height. It's dynamic hierarchy that stretches horizontally and follows the 80/20 Pareto Principle. Leadership dynamically shifts to the most qualified person for that specific project/task, and instead of a comand-and-order model we shift to an advice-seeking model for optimal decision-making by the Lead in that domain.
In our community ecosystem, we use nomenclature that points towards growth vs dominance - a Tree is a Lead (the "responsibiliteur" making the decisions within their Domain), the Core Team members are made up of Saplings, Sprouts and Seedlings, who are all learning how to take responsibility under the guidance and shelter of a Tree.
People - and groups of people - are ecosystems. Trees can't function without the Saplings, Sprouts and Seedlings (and all the other flora, fauna and fungi). It is symbiotic and no one is consider "superior" or "inferior", they just have different roles and responsibilities.
And this is the beginning of creating our Social Soil - the fertile foundation needed to allow humans, relationships, and communities to thrive.
